Did you know there are agents looking to work with
new writers? Yes, there are! I know, I know... you think it's not true. Why would agents want new writers
when they can get an experienced author? Well, think about it. What do the new writers have to offer these agents?
Fresh ideas! Unique point of views! Willingness to work with the agent and make the writing what it needs to be
to make it sell! There are thousands more reasons and each agent has his or her own, but I tell you now, take the plunge...
submit your work to some of these agents. You've got nothing to lose and a lucrative career to gain.

The listed agents on this page were originally listed in Writer's
Digest, the magazine for writers. We cannot stress enough, how much we recommend obtaining a subscription to that magazine.
especially if you are a new writer. If you don't want to pay for a full subscription, just buy the individual issues
at your nearest bookstore. We do not get any commission of any sort if you do buy the magazine. We just believe
it is a great magazine. The
agents are listed in alphabetical order. And will change over time. Also, all the agents listed are willing to
work with NEW writers. So, contact them! Also,
I am only listing the agents who are interested in the genres we focus on in this website, such as, fantasy, paranormal, horror,
bizzaro, and magical realism. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
